Summary

The Court held that Local Law No. 9‑2014, which imposed eight‑year term limits on Clarkstown officials, required a mandatory referendum under Municipal Home Rule Law §23 and, because no referendum was held, the law lacks operative effect; consequently the statute‑of‑limitations bars do not apply and the Appellate Division orders are affirmed.
